M18 RADIUS LED Compact Site Light w/ONE-KEY 2146-20

Aptly named for its ability to fill an entire workspace with 360 degrees of light, this new high-output area light provides maximum coverage for task, area, or overhead applications. Customizable through ONE-KEY, users can access the light remotely through the app when it’s in overhead or hard-to-reach locations, optimize the brightness and runtime, and program automatic schedules. Users will also be able to track and manage the light through the ONE-KEY app.  It has 3 brightness settings with a max brightness of 4,400 lumens and a max runtime of up to 8 hours.

Through ONE-KEY, users will be able to customize, track, and manage their new Site Light. Unlimited Tool Customization allows users to use their phone as a remote control for the light. With the ability to completely control its operation from their phone, users simply set the light and won’t need to access it again until moving it to the next job. From a 50ft range, users can take advantage of three different fully customizable adjustments:

• Optimize Brightness
  • Optimize the light to provide the right output for the job at hand, and check the remaining battery charge to adjust for conserved runtime.
• Adjust Light Direction
  • For the most complete control over light positioning, adjust the light’s direction left or right 180 degrees with Electronic Bay Switches that can be adjusted through the app.
• Program Automatic Schedules
  • For increased productivity, the Site Light has an AC/DC input and output. When the light is running on AC power, set it to run for a specific amount of time (30, 60, or 90 minutes, or a custom length). Alternatively, program specific start and end times and build a schedule to accommodate the hours the light is needed most.

Once a command is made, the light keeps memory of that setting until the user makes a new change.

The ONE-KEY Integrated Tool Tracking functionality will make tracking the Site Light as easy as pulling out a phone, allowing users to identify where and when their light was last seen. Records and locations will update when any device with the ONE-KEY app comes within 100ft of the Site Light, allowing the user to quickly pinpoint missing lights. With users will also have a central place to take inventory of their Site Light and all other tools and equipment, and keep detailed records of all inventory to easily build a budget and manage spend.

• Remote connectivity through the One-Key app
